What is the hybrid state of `BeCl_(2)` in the vapour state ? What will be the change in hybrid state of `BeCl_(2)` in the solid state ? |
Answer» In the vapour state at high temperature (1200 K) , Be is sp-hybridized and hence `BeCl_(2)` in linear . In the solid state , `BeCl_(2)` is polymeric . In this structure , each Be has two covalent and two coordinate bonds . Therefore , in the solid state . Be has `sp^(3)`-hybridization . | |
